Mac Book Pro will not start on Battery Power

Mac Book Pro will not start on Battery Power although battery at 98% need to connect charger. When started date and time incorrect, comes up as 1st Jan 2012.

What is the exact model of your MBP?  The date change often is an indication of power loss to the MBP, such as disconnecting the battery.
If the SMC reset does not solve the situation, post this from your MBP:
Make certain that the power adapter is connected.
Ciao.

    I have no idea how much it will cost to repair. I don't even know what the exact problem will prove to be. It may be quick if it isn't a motherboard problem. I just don't know. Take it in for a service diagnostic, then they can tell you what is involved.

  • MAC BOOK PRO WILL NOT START- COMPLETELY DEAD!

    I forgot to power down my mac book pro last night. I closed the lid & forgot to go back & turn it off completely. This morning it will not power up. The machine is completely dead.
    The power supply wasn't connected overnight so I assume the battery has completely drained. It's been charging for the last 2 hours (which would normally have fully charged it) but the light on the power cord is still showing green so I assume it's still charging, however there should be plenty of juice in the battery to start the computer but it still won't start.
    Any ideas how to get it started?

    A dead battery will take longer to start charging, but leave it on and eventually it will start to charge again.
    Once you get it charged, perform a SMC and PRAM reset

  • Mac Book Pro will not start up

    My 2008 MBP will not start up.  When i turn it on, it goes to a gray screen with the Apple Symbol and the wheel below it keeps spinning.  ANy suggestions?

    It may be just a graphic card or a display problem, but as the MacBook Pro has got the graphic card soldered onto the logic board, you will need a new logic board.
    The logic board is the most expensive part of the computer, and more on a MacBook Pro that has got near everything soldered to the logic board. Take the Mac to an Apple Store to get your Mac repaired.
    If it's the display, it will be expensive too, but less than a new logic board

    mac book pro 13 wont atart up all i get is a folder icon with a question mark in it any help ?

    Saying that it can't find the last boot volume and that you need to
    use control panel to set startup disk
    or repair/restore and that your boot drive volume has a bad directory
    try booting from OS X DVD (use c on startup or option key) and go to Utility menu and then Disk Utility.

  • Mac book pro will not start up.  Charging light is on, but no response from computer.  What happened?

    The Mac Book Pro was fine, and then just stopped working.  I connect the power source, and the light is on as if it is charging.  However, when I try to turn the laptop on, nothing happens.  There is no response whatsoever.  Any ideas what happened and what I need to do?

    Examine this support article for possible solutions:

    If no success, a trip to an Apple store genius bar is the best recourse.

  • Downloaded and installed os x yosemite and now mac book pro will not restart? How long should this take? Is there something wrong? Please helpthanks in advance

    MAc book pro. I have downloaded and installed os x yosemite now mac book pro will not start? How long should it take? Is there something wrong?

    The 2 computers here took about 45 minutes to an hour each.
    The best thing to do is give it more time. If it gets too ridiculous, shutdown using the power button and then restart. Check  menu/About This Mac to see if it is installed.

    You could try doing a hard shut down (holding the power button or yanking the battery) and then doing a safe boot by holding the shift key at startup:

    Also, not sure if this applies in your case, but I've had that happen when there's a USB drive inserted either in the computer or a connected external keyboard.  I did a hard shut down, removed the drive and it went through a normal start up. 

  • My Mac Book Pro will not power on

    My Mac Book Pro will not (boot-up) power on.
    What should I do?

    Do you have the power adapter connected?  Does it display a light, amber or green? 
    Have you checked the battery charge level by pressing the exterior battery level button?
    Try a SMC reset:
